Personalized care for your dog or cat - Thornapple

“Very accommodating for dog drop-off & pickup, and extending stay with day’s notice. Had a confident presence when we dropped dog off which left us assured of her experience.”

“We had Sarah watch our pups for a few days while we went camping. She was great with them and kept us updated and sent photos of them adjusting to her place. Already have another boarding scheduled with her in a few weeks. Would recommend her for your pups!”

“Hadyn was amazing with our dog, Marley! She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and took him for multiple walks throughout the day along with other engaging activities. She was such a great pleasure to work with and I highly recommend! We will definitely book again in the future! Marley came home happy and exhausted after his stay!”

“Jill was fantastic all around! Banks loved spending time with her and it was a relief for us to enjoy our vacation. She was so accomodating on the timing of pickup and dropoff which again made traveling a breeze. We'll be using her again soon!”

“Arranging a stay with Sherry for our doggie was easy and flexible. We truly appreciate all the time and care she gave Loki, just like he was accustomed to at home. We had continuous updates via text daily, he went on many walks, played with toys...Sherry is the best, highly recommended!”

About: I’m experienced in senior and medical care, multiple animal care, providing a fun time, and so much more. I have two of my own dogs and a couple cats that are all spoiled. I would love to spoil yours! Monday-Friday I am available to care for animals throughout the whole day. Animals play a huge role in my everyday life and I would enjoy caring for yours. Either in my home or a clients home the animals needs come first. A schedule is set and maintained the entire duration of the stay to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my own home they are kept separate from my resident pets to minimize stress on all animals. Although if owner is comfortable all resident animals are very friendly.

About: I have been relied on to care for friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was old enough to take responsibility. When I was 14, my helping of peoples pets started when I watched a family friends dog for 4 years during week days and occasional weekends. I worked at a doggie day care facility for 4 months at the end of 2021, doing all duties that go into caring for our furry friends. I went to college to get a degree as a Veterinary Technician for a year and a half. During the time of schooling I worked in a vet clinic and took on the job role as a kennel technician, helping out with anything and everything I could get my hands on. I dropped school because of personal and external obstacles but would love to go back in the future to finish. I only aim to please and never disappoint! Please choose me to be your pets new best friend! I'm currently working full time in Gilman WI, Mon-Thurs 630AM-4PM, Fri 630AM-1030AM. I am mostly available during weekends. The earlier you book with me, the better. I like to plan ahead. I try to be flexible and fit in your pet sitting needs! When caring for pets in a clients home, I am sure to make sure that I am careful when first meeting animals as I know it could be dangerous because of their protectiveness. I make sure to look over instructions twice, and double check that all to-dos are completed before leaving the clients home. I make sure to potty before I leave each time to avoid messes and make sure that they get exercise/attention during my time with them, as I know they feel down without someone home with them.

About: I will walk dogs, take dogs for rides, give dogs baths, feed animals, play with them, and brush them. I will clean up accidents without a fuss. I can also n dispense medications. I do not clip nails. I get up at 4:00am. I work at 5:40 about an hour away so I have time in the morning to take animals out and give them morning routines. I will wake up earlier if I get multiple animals. I’m a morning person and don’t mind at all. I work until noon so I’m available then to do my next set of rounds. I don’t have anything structured other than dinner at 6:00 with my family and bedtime between 8:00-10:00. I can do more rounds in the evening. If you need over night, I can do that as well. I am originally from Green Bay so I do travel a bit so please schedule ahead if possible. If it’s a regular thing, I will make sure I give you enough notice when I will be out of town. I live with four adults, a dog, and two cats. I would love to bring animals in for boarding but not everyone agrees to that so I can house sit at your residence. I will clean up after the pets and myself but I am not your maid so the rest of your house will not be cleaned. If I become a regular and we develop a friendship, I could be swayed for extra cost.

About: I have had cats all my life. I’m on cats 11 and 12. They are two black cats, brothers born on May 29, 2023. Their names are Fezzik and Jasper.

About: I've had many dogs of my own so I'm quite personal & I'm always excited to make new animal friends. Having many animals of my own I think sets me aside from others, I love to play and run around with dogs. I also can and will care for other pets or animals if it is necessary, which I also think sets me apart. I'm an athlete too so long walks & everything are not a problem, I enjoy walking and nature so going on walks would be wonderful. I like animal of all sizes. Also by having pets of my own, I understand a lot about dogs and how to care for multiple. I can do more than just play & walk them, I can bathe them & brush & most other hygiene needs.

“Carissa was very easy to work with setting up the first meeting/trial run. It is nice to have daycare options when we are at our campsite and want to go do things, without having to leave him at the camper. Cope must have really enjoyed himself because he headed back towards her house, rather than the car when it was time to leave.”

Nichole R.

“Hadyn was wonderful! She watched our Ruby on a last minute notice and sent us regular updates. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you again Hadyn!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has owned and cared for four dogs since I was young. I understand how important pets are to families and treat every dog with patience, attention, and kindness. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your dog’s routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part time, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, giving your dog plenty of playtime, cuddles, and praise while ensuring consistent care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure, supervised environment, follow all instructions carefully, and give your pet love, attention, and reliable care at all times.

About: I have had multiple dogs my entire life, & multiple cats. I currently have a mini Australian Shepherd at home & a grey cat! My golden retriever husky recently passed, but I have lots of experience with puppies & hyper dogs! I just have classes at UK, so lots of free time outside of class time! I am free on weekends & love to care for pets & love going on walks with dogs:) I have lots of training experience, & have even raised my own puppy & kitten from a very young age. I am also a very clean & organized person.

About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.
